Sebastian Bach: An Xperience Interview By Jason Irwin Sebastian Bach remains one of hard rock’s most distinctive voices, decades after first breaking through with Skid Row. With a new solo album, “Child Within the Man,” and an active touring schedule, Bach continues to push forward rather than look back. He is set to perform on […]
The Problem with Saying Support Local Music – An Xperience Column – by Jason Irwin. There’s a sign I’ve seen in a lot of rooms over the years. Sometimes it’s taped crookedly behind the bar, or printed on a flyer near the door. You’ve seen the graphic online. It usually says the same thing: “Support […]
YOUR Unpopular Musical Opinion, Vol. 1 – by Jason Irwin. Unpopular opinions. We all have them. Do we share them? Well, that depends on whether we are prepared for the reaction. My question is … what is an unpopular musical opinion you have, and how can you back it up? I asked local musicians and […]
The Last Verse: Music, Memory and Mortality – by Jason Irwin. It’s a weird thing, watching your heroes get older. Even weirder when they start leaving us.

East Glens Falls Rocks! – An Xperience Article – by Jason Irwin. I was speaking with my wife and a mutual friend the other day, and I casually brought up the “East End” of Glens Falls. They both acted as if I had just pulled the phrase out of thin air. It’s a thing. Right? […]
Whatever I Want – An Xperience Column – by Jason Irwin. The “New Classics” of 2000 and Beyond … “Classic rock.” When you hear that label, you think of the Rolling Stones, The Who, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd (and even a couple of American bands). Right? OK … fine. For […]
Jason Irwin – An Xperience Column – by Jason Irwin. I don’t typically use words like “vibe.” Sure, it’s often used to describe a general mood or atmosphere, but I’ve always associated it with states of peace—something unfamiliar to my perpetually restless nature. As a verb, it can mean “relaxing” or “chilling.” There—two more terms […]
Jason Irwin, Rock and Roll Marvel – An Xperience Article – by Jason Irwin. “Marvel” often suggests “superhero,” but by definition, it’s just a “wonderful or astonishing person or thing.” And this guy fits the bill.
